Thanks to all who tuned in for a more gruesome session, featuring our first PC death of the show. We're down one problem player next week, so I guess it worked out conveniently...
RIP "Catherine". We never even learned your real name.

Our Problem Players have fallen victim to the holiday season TTRPG curse & will NOT be meeting tomorrow morning at 9AM. Bummer.
But hey, if you don't play, your PCs will never die! Much to our Director's disdain...

Now at sea, our Problem Players find themselves amidst a surprise inspection gone wrong. Seems like there's no talking their way outta this one.
(Alternatively? Our Director REALLY wanted to run ship combat.)
Let's hope they can swim as we resume their story TOMORROW at 9am EST live on twitch!

Our illustrator, @rivermpillustrates.bsky.social, is apparently so talented that Instagram thought this loading-screen-in-progress was generative AI. Go figure. Incase anyone was wondering, we do not support AI usage at all, both inside and outside of TTRPGs. ALWAYS support #humanart :^)
